A 3 time World Championship team member, Rebecca Johnston has just in the last year started to come into her own.

Mainly a fringe player in her first couple tournaments with Canada, Johnston stepped into a more notable role last World Championships in Hämeenlinna, Finland last year where she registed 5 points in 5 games. This year, in the Hockey Canada Cup, she repeated that performance, again potting 5 pts in 5 GP.

The 20 year old Cornell University Big Red forward is now one of the up coming offensive pieces Canada is looking at to carry them into the future & right now, she has her chance to show shes up to it. Going into her 1st Olympic games, Johnston is not a stranger to international competition, playing in over 20 tournament games, and many more exhibition games.

She has success everywhere she seems to go. Rebecca is an Ivy league Rookie Of The Year Winner, and a top 10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier award last season for top Collegiate player in womens hockey. As a multi-sport star, Johnston is no stranger to major athletic competition even before her Team Canada career. She is also a bronze medalist in the 400 Metres at the Canadian Junior Track & Field Championships in 2006 & a Provincial champion in multiple events.

Johnston will be looked upon to contribute for the Canadians this tourney on the scoresheet. If she does, then a gold medal might finally be draped around Rebeccas neck.
